The Morison Suspension Furnace. 




HIS type of furnace (designed and patented by Mr. Donald B. Morison, of Hartlepool, 
England) is the result of a series of exhaustive experiments, which were conducted at 
Leeds, England, under the auspices of Mr. Samson Fox, the introducer and promoter of 
the world renowned " Fox Corrugated Furnace." So indispensable has the Fox Furnace become that 
more of them are in daily use, than the aggregate of all other types of horizontal cylindrical furnaces. 
It has commanded respectful consideration, and been without a rival until the advent of " The Morison 
Suspension Furnace," and this, notwithstanding the fact, that during the last decade numerous attempts 
have been made to produce some type of boiler furnace, which would vie with, and share in the 
reputation of " The Fox Corrugated Furnace." 

" The Morison Suspension Furnace," inherits all the well-known and valuable features of " The Fox 
Corrugated Furnace," but in a more pronounced and perfect development. The catenary form of curve, 
the distance between centers of ridge arch supporters, and the general proportions as adopted, have 
been experimentally determined and practically proven to offer the greatest resistance to 
distortion or collapse, and to present a crown surface offering the minimum facility for lodgment of 
scale, together with a maximum convenience for readily removing the same when formed. These 
marked advantages have been speedily recognized by owners and users of steam boilers, and the 
invention has met with the fullest appreciation of, and been properly classified by the English 
Admiralty, Lloyds, Bureau Veritas and the Board of U. S. Supervising Inspectors. 

The freedom from liability to crack and distort, so incident to cylindrical furnaces which are 
reinforced with incorporated thick ribs, also freedom from the defects incident to that type of 
furnace composed of sections of flanged and riveted cylinders (ring reinforced) which are liable to 
change form and develop leakage by reason of undue strains, caused by different degrees of expansion 
and contraction. — The entire absence of these untoward features in " The Morison Suspension Furnace," 
has caused its adoption in numbers of Naval and Merchant Steamers of Great Britain, and other 
European nations, a partial list of names of these vessels being recorded in the pages immediately 
following. 

A particular feature of commercial interest, is the fact that the type of boiler furnace, described 
as " The Morison Suspension," possessing the same general characteristics as " The Fox Corrugated 
Furnace," is susceptible of production at the same expenditure, therefore either type, of equal 
dimensions, and requirements, may be purchased at the same price. 

The sole right to the manufacture and sale of " The Morison Suspension Furnace " in Great 
Britain, is vested with The Leeds Forge Co. of Leeds, England, and in the United States and Canada, 
with THE CONTINENTAL IRON WORKS OF GREENPOINT, BROOKLYN, N. Y., which 
corporation invites attention to its products, and solicits the patronage of the engineering profession.

LAND BOILERS F^ted with MORISON SUSPENSION FURNACES. 

WITH the rapidly-increasing numbers of Stationary Engines of high efficiency, a demand has been 
created for boilers in which the necessarily high pressure of steam can be generated with the 
most economical consumption of fuel. This demand has been met by the introduction of internally-fired 
boilers, somewhat similar in design to the Scotch Boiler now so extensively employed in marine practice. This 
type of boiler is susceptible of numerous modifications in design, and when fitted with suspension furnaces 
becomes the most satisfactory steam generator that can be employed for stationary and semi-portable purposes. 
INTERNALLY=F1RED BOILERS are economical in first cost, being self-contained; that is, they 
are independent of masonry setting, cast iron fronts, buckstays, tie rods, etc., and are therefore capable 
of being readily moved from place to place with little expense if desired. 

INTERNALLY=FIRED BOILERS are economical in the consumption of coal, from the fact that 
there is no brick setting to absorb and radiate the heat, and the furnaces being surrounded by water the 
heat of combustion is more fully utilized than is possible in externally-fired boilers.

SPECIAL ADVANTAGES ARISING FROM THE USE OF SUSPENSION FURNACES. 

CIRCUMFERENTIALLY-CORRUGATED FURNACES possess much greater resistance to collapse 
than any other type, thus permitting the use of thinner metal in the furnace, which facilitates the transfer 
of heat to the water. 

THE CORRUGATIONS IN THE FURNACE act as baffle-plates to the passage of the furnace 
gases, causing them to mechanically mix, thus producing far better combustion than is possible with any 
other type of furnace; while the additional heating surface in the most active portion of the boiler, due to 
the corrugations, adds largely to the evaporative power of the boiler. 

IN THE SUSPENSION FURNACE the uniformity of thickness of metal is an especially desirable 
feature, facilitating the uniform transfer of heat, and permitting the free expansion . and contraction of the 
furnace — features which it is impossible to obtain by means of thick ribs incorporated in the furnace 
plate, stiffening rings or any other device. 

THE SUSPENSION FURNACE, while possessing wonderful resistance to collapse, possesses suf- 
ficient elasticity in the direction of its length to readily accommodate itself to alterations in dimension, 
caused by changes of temperature in the boiler, thus removing all excessive strains from the joints between 
it and the boiler heads — advantages impossible to be obtained with any other furnace. 

SUSPENSION FURNACES are necessarily made from the very best material, which, together with the 
first-class workmanship necessary for their production, insxires the utmost perfection in the completed furnace.

FOR MARINE AND LAND BOILERS. 





Unequalled for Economical Firing. 

Prevents the Destruction of Baffle Plates. 



HE FURNACE DOOR illustrated on this page is the invention of Mr. 
Donald B. Morison of Hartlepool, England, and is intended to overcome some 
of the defects which are inherent in the present type of furnace doors 
in use on marine and other boilers. The primary object is to prevent the 
undue accumulation of fuel on the front end of the grate which causes 
overheating and ultimate destruction of the furnace door and its attachments, 
and in consequence of the freedom from obstruction in the front end of the 
furnace, very much better facilities are afforded for properly stoking the 
fire. To accomplish this, a portion of the dead plate immediately inside of 
the furnace door, is cut away, so as to leave a recess. The door is provided 
with an inward extension, which when the door is closed, fills the recess in 
the dead plate. This extension and also the vertical portion of the door, may 
be perforated and be provided with a perforated baffle plate, for the 
admission of air to the furnace, in the usual way. 

THE FURNACE FRONT is made of a plate of pressed steel, 
worked to the shape indicated in the illustrations and is protected from the 
fire by perforated cast iron liners. 

THE FURNACE DOOR is arranged to open upward and is so 
counterweighted as to remain open while the furnace is being stoked. This is 
a very important feature in a marine boiler, as it does away with the necessity 
of catches or other devices for preventing the door from closing with the 
motion of the ship. 




ft 



ANOTHER IMPORTANT FEATURE of the Morison Patent Furnace Door is that in consequence of the 
fire being removed from the immediate front of the furnace, the fire room is much cooler, which allows the men 
to work with more comfort than when the ordinary form of door is used. 

THESE DOORS and FRAnES are made of several sizes to suit different size furnaces.
